The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

deluded's been breaking a lot of chalk over there lately. Here's something for all to listen to while I study how Darwin and his ilks (probably one with egg on his beard and another with pants unzipped) figured something out on the Beagle that has captured deluded's liver, but not located his spirit or heart...

Something about how the boat they're on is "designed" but the birds flying over them aren't. Smart old guys! I'm working my way through it so I can understand that historic moment where those 3? 4? 5? guys figured out this world we live in! I don't think enough credit is given to old guys, do you?

5 people? You can't be serious. Your ignorance is profound, remarkable. I have truly never encountered anything like it. The original theory was put forth by a small group of naturalists (Kettlewald, Huxley, Darwin), but evolution is like any other science, and it has thousands of contributors over the last 150 years, from all over the world. The theory wasn't complete until 1930. It's contributions after Darwin and Huxley were made by men like Haldene and Mendel, and then later by a new generation of biologists after the modern synthesis. Geneticists like Dobzhansky and Lewontin, paleontologists like Gould and Morrison, zoologists like Richard Dawins, developmental Biologists like PZ Myers, biochemists like Crick and Watson, microbiologists like Woese, and many more. Three generations of molecular biologists, geneticists, developmental biologists, microbiologists, paleontologists, ecologists and zoologists.

I'm frankly unsuprised that all you can do is throw insults, parables, and meaningless arguments from ignorance and wonder fallacies, against an extremely technical and complex refutation that I assembled. Did I not ask you to act like a mature adult? I roundly refute every single thing you have said, every argument you have assembled, and this is what you have been reduced to. You are pathetic. Well and truly pathetic.

I have already pointed this out but you have ignored it. It is not the events on the Beagle that concerned me or "captured my liver" (my brain would be more accurate). It was the evidence first gathered by Darwin and his colleagues, and then over the next 150 years by the aforementioned men and many more among them, myself included. I have already pointed this out nearly verbatim but you wholly ignored it.

"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

I'm not surprised meph thinks this. He may well think our present population came from 8 people 4000 years ago. You know, Hovind's idea (that or heavenly Viagra - either is as plausible as anything meph says)

In review of the content of this thread over the last 8 months, I have called a moderator panel to discuss your actions. The reason for doing this is because your behavior clearly fits the behavior pattern that on internet forums is identified as "trolling". If you wish to find more about this wonderful label, you may do so on Wikipedia. Anyway, moderators unaffiliated with this thread (ie, are not involved in the discussion in this thread) have stated that given that I have given you multiple warnings about not contributing to the discussion and refusing to argue with your interlocutors or address their points, your thread is wasting colossal bandwidth and this means, to put it nicely, you are a waste of space, and the moderators explicitly stated that based on your actions and the associated repeated warnings, I am within every right under the rules of this forum to ban you immediately.

Now, I do not wish to ban you immediately because I find this exercise amusing in a sadistic sort of way. However, if you do not address your interlocutors (read: me) properly in your next post by addressing their arguments, (read: the long post which you ignored), then I shall have no choice but to ban you. Your existence here serves no purpose other than to humiliate yourself and your inability to argue. It was this that kept your thread alive for the last 8 months. The moderators (especially me) felt that you were so phenomenally stupid that you made us look very good by comparison so we kept this alive for laughs. However, with the exceeding of 1000 posts, the overwhelming redundancy of this demonstration has convinced us that your account should be terminated immediately. Unfortunately, there is no forum rule against stupidity. That is not the charge on which we made the decision. Trolling, however, is explicitly against the forum rules and there has been unanimous concensus that this is precisely what you are doing. As I have stated before, I shall take into account your next post, and the no doubt wonderfully eloquent and debate-worthy content it shall produce...or not. Be aware that it is within my power to terminate your account and I shall not be abusing any moderator privelages in doing so, in fact, I have exercised great patience in not doing so despite being given explicit permission to do so at least six months ago, and I shall shed no tears over the death of this thread, so perhaps you ought to make this next post one of fair quality.

Before this thread might close, I want to thank brother meph for helping expose why religion dogma is the enemy. I think many have learned from this thread, that religion is basically bunk idol worship dogma bull shit ..... and so maybe this revealing thread should never end ??? ......

Anyhoot , Keep the AWE, Thrash Religion.

Hey meph, Yeah, okay, GAWED done it, now what ??? Pray to the Master ??? what for ? to prove my AWE ?????? for why ????? This creator thingy no like me ????? unless I bow down ????? Fuck that wimpy needy god ..... That ain't god , I am god , as everything is ONE.

Yes, meph, everything is a miracle, just as nothing is a miracle. Atheists are the "saved" ..... as meaning rejecting all religious gods of dogma ..... Therefore Jesus was like Buddha , atheist ..... the way I read it ..... not that Jesus nor Buddha changes the truth, nor all Science .... regardless of all human knowledge, I am god as you .... as all is ONE. O N E

Ok, it is the decision of the mod team that this thread has run its course and is done. It's my personal opinion that meph is simply too stupid to understand anything deludedgod has to say. Stupidity, while not against the rules, has limits, and the limit has been reached for this thread.

Meph, you will notice that you have a nice TROLL label now. This means that stupid things you say automatically get sent to Trollville. If someone wants to talk to you there, that's fine, but until and unless you prove that you can carry on an intelligent conversation and actually respond to an argument as opposed to blathering on in spite of the argument, you are relegated to Trollville.

Enjoy your time under the bridge.

Atheism isn't a lot like religion at all. Unless by "religion" you mean "not religion". --Ciarin
